Amphenol RETU-Ex01 Installation Manual

RETU-Ex01 Installation Guide

Overview

These instructions describe how to fit a RETU-Ex01 (RET) to an Amphenol Antenna Solutions SmartTilt antenna with remote adjustable
electrical tilt.
Typically, the RET unit is installed at the factory and further install work or adjustment isn't necessary. However, it can be retrofitted to a
manually adjustable electrical tilt antenna that has already been installed, or is at a warehouse.
NOTE The entire installation process should take place ON THE GROUND, in order to minimize the need for an expensive
and time consuming tower climb!
